HC Deb 01 March 1966 vol 725 c1074
16. Mr. R. W. Elliott

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is satisfied with the interpretation which local authorities are making of Planning Bulletin No. 7, entitled "Parking in Town Centres", and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacColl

Yes, in general; but the Bulletin covers many aspects of parking and if the hon. Member has any particular difficulty in mind I will look into it.

Mr. Elliott

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the general suggestion that when a developer is not allowed car parking space outside the property concerned he should make a subscription for general car parks when he has no priority in them, leads to an unfortunate atmosphere between the planning authority and the developer?

Mr. MacColl

I think these schemes can be done by voluntary arrangement, and I see no objection to that.
